Garlands upon his grave,
And flowers upon his bearsc,
And to the tender heart and bra.e
The tribute of this verse.
His was the troubled life,
Tho conflict and the pain
The grief, the bitterness of strife,
The honor without stain.
Like Winkelrfce, he took
Into his manly breast,
The sheaf of hostile spears, and broke
A path for the oppressed.
Then from the fatal field
Upon a nations heart
Borne like a warrior on tis shieli!-
So should the brave depart.
Death takes us by surprise,
And stays our hurrying feet;
The g.eat design unfinished lies,
Our lives are incomplete.
But in the dark unknown
Perfect their circles seem,
Even as s bridges arch Of stone
Is rounded in the stream.
Alike are life and death,
When life and death survives,
And the uninterrupted br. ath
Inspires q thousand lives.
We're a star quenched on high,
For ages would its light,
Still travelling downward from the sky,
Shine on our mortal sight.
So when a great man dies,
For years beyond u ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies
Upon the path of men.

INDIANA REPUBLICANS.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, February S.-The
Republicans do not admit the legality
of Turpie's election TO the United States
Senate, or that the work of the joint
convention was perfected in the pro.
ceedings of Wednesday. On the other
hand the Democrats claim that the rec
ord is valid and the joint convention ad-
journed yesterday sine die. In accord
ance with the motion Of Representative
Gardiner, which the Republicans say
prevailed, the joint convention re-as-
sembled to-day noon with all the Demo.
cratic and seven Republican Senator'S
absent. Speaker Sopre presided, and
the Clerk Of the House called the roll of
both Houses. Ten Senators and fifty
six Representatives OF the Republican
side answered. but the Democratic side
was silent. They were regarded as alb
sentees until the roll of that class was
read, when the Speaker announced the
presence sf each one, but as no, answer
ing. Representative Gardiner then pre-
sented preamble and resolution, recit-
ing the illegality OF the election Of Tur-
pie and the pretended adjournment Of
the joint convention sine die, and calling
for an investigation, in order to prepare
material Ct . contest to be presented to
the United States Senate. The resolu-
tion provided for the appointment of a
committee of five, to pursue this inves-
tigation and to prepare . memorial.
This was agreed to and the session ad-

THE LEGlsLATURE.
SENATE.

SACRAMENTO, February 3.-The Sem
ate met at III o'clock, the first matter
taken up being Bowers bill to repeal
Sec. 1922 of the Civil Code relating to
riparian rights. Bowers made an arau =
ment in favor OF the passage of the meas
ure. He said the entire delegation Of
both parties from Southern California
was elected because it was understood
that every man of them would favor the
repeal of Sec. 1922. He believed the
presence of the Democratic msjority in
the Legislature was due solely to the
position OF the party on this question
and he warned the Democrats that If
they permitted the session to end with
out taking action, their banners next
year would be trailing in the dust.
Bowers then went on to show the effect
of riparianism on the agricultural inter-
ests of the State, concluding by arg uing
that the repeal of Sec l422 would be
the entering wedge to the destruction of
this doctrine.
In the Senate this afternoon, on mo-
tion of White, the bill allowing Los An
geles county two additional Superior
Judges, was taken up and passed. This
is the first bill that has finally passed
both Houses. It will be transmitted to
the Governor imme diately.
NJ fits bill, appropriatIng S25, coo for
contingent expenses of the Senate, was
finally pass,
The coas eration of the bill is to re.
peal Section l422 of the Civil Code was
resumed. White, of Los Angeles, made
a long, legal argument in favor OF its
passage. He said he was not silly
enough TO think that the law, as declared
by the Supreme Court. could be upset
by legislative enactment. As this repeal
took from no man his rights, therefore,
he was in favor II passing the bill.
McKinstry's decis N he considered one
of the ablest ever ianating from the Su-
preme Court as IL law .hen stood, but
he was in favor of changing the law for
the future. He quoted from the Dsmo-
cratic platform to show that majority
of the Senators had been pledged to re.
peal this sectiop5
Conklin opp gied the bill on the
ground that thf ,ection was IN harmony
with the constitution and laws and he
could not see why they desired to re.
peal it unless it gave them something.
Langford opposed the passage of the
bill and Goucher favored it.
Clunie said the people of his district
wanted irrigation but rot at the ex.
pense of any class. He was in favor OF
the appointmeut of a commission to in-
quire into the subject and report some
feasible method of settling the question.
The bill, by consent, was read the Sec
ond time and its further discussion post
poned until Tuesday next at 2 O'Clock.
